I Thank My God (Every Time I Remember You) [Original]

2010-12-26T02:31:00.000-08:00

Been a long time since I posted, thought boxing day would be a good day... XD

Anyways, just went to a Christmas party on Christmas day, met a few new friends along with getting to know my not-so-new-but-still-quite-new friends better...

This song is dedicated to you all.. to Spruce, Gen, Brian, Aaron, Chewie, Jasmine, Jenny, Serina, JJ (both of you, i know 2 JJs) and all the others I hung out with but forgot your names... pardon my voice, there's a reason why i only sing backup vocals.. XD

Have a great boxing day, and a happy new year! :D

Evan

Lyrics

It's a rainy boxing day after Christmas.
The tree stands unadorned; the festive cheer is gone.
But the friends I've made this Christmas day,
I'll cherish with all my heart,
As the new year beckons on this boxing day.

Love one another as the Lord has loved us all.
Pray for each other, as through trials we must go.
Never give up meeting together, encourage one another.
And I thank my God every time I remember you

After Reservist....

2010-06-12T02:13:00.000-07:00

Just finished my first low key ICT, quite tired... hahaz... posted back to Signals platoon, basically everyone's damn f***ed up.. at least the officers in the platoon were dignified.

Anyway, we had quite alot of free time in camp, so i did a little bit of songwriting... loosely speaking, this is my first original full song, with lyrics, and yes, i'm singing (quite badly) in here.. I'm dedicating this song to someone who means alot to me, who's always willing to listen to me rant over the phone.. It's kinda both a "thank you" and "this is how it is" song, so hope u won't feel offended, k?

Just a Friend

Lyrics
--------

Another cloud here drifts across the summer sky
Another day has passed me by
Another moment spent in wistful dreaming
Of your hand in mine

Words flowed easily between us
You shared your woes, your dreams, your trust
You made me wanna be a better person; slowly I
Began to fall for you

(Bridge)
The day I planned to tell how I truely felt for you
You asked to share a secret that then nobody knew
My heart then sank as you, not knowing how I felt
Told me you had a crush - on someone else

(Chorus)
Oh, the pain of watching someone else take you for granted
Pales in the knowledge that I'm in a different world from you
But I'd rather stay the friend than risk the love and spoil the chance of knowing you
I'll be the friend.

As a friend i'm bound to sit beside and listen
As one who loves you, I didn't want to share
But as one who's been with you I know i'm way out of your league
I know my place, I will not stray
-----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, I just finished watching the table tennis prize presentation ceremony where Singapore got world champion (WOOT!!!). I was a little disappointed at the playing of Singapore's national anthem though, I personally felt they should have played the one we all hear on National Day, the grander, fuller, and more awe-inspiring version.

Anyway, this is my guitar version of it, I hope i'm not breaking any rules here, I've read them... XD I think i'm the first one here who uploaded an acoustic version of the Singapore National Anthem, was wondering whether I really beat the rest to it, or there's some rule against it,....

Majulah Singapura (Singapore National Anthem)

Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya Singapura
Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura
Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura

How to train your Dragon - Soundtracks

2010-06-12T01:32:00.000-07:00

Watched the movie, loved every moment of it XD Meanwhile, here's my interpretation of 2 of the pieces - Test Drive (where Hiccup test drives the dragon) and Romantic Fight (Flight)

Test Drive

and

Romantic Fight

2009-11-05T06:45:00.000-08:00

There is a higher throne

Than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from ev'ry tongue
Will one day come.
Before the Son we'll stand,
Made faultless through the Lamb;
Believing hearts find promised grace—
Salvation comes.

Hear heaven's voices sing;
Their thund'rous anthem rings
Through em'rald courts and sapphire skies.
Their praises rise.
All glory, wisdom, pow'r,
Strength, thanks, and honor are
To God our King, who reigns on high
Forevermore.

And there we'll find our home,
Our life before the throne;
We'll honor Him in perfect song
Where we belong.
He'll wipe each tear-stained eye
As thirst and hunger die.
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King;
We'll reign with Him.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

2009-10-06T08:45:00.000-07:00

Somehow, I had thought shedding away all the things that I was clinging on to (but was clearly poisoning my life) would be painful, and drawn-out.

Surprisingly, everything turned out quite well. Even though I have far lesser "friends" now, I dare say I wholeheartedly trust the people I still mingle with.

It still gets lonely sometimes...... :(

Sometimes I wonder why people talk to me. I'm not good-looking, self-absorbed, cannot take jokes, easily provoked... sometimes I don't even feel like talking. Spare these good people from wasting their time on me...

Maybe someday I'll find a rainbow. Maybe.

Acoustic Gig at West Coast Green

2009-07-12T07:35:00.000-07:00

Here's me singing Yesterday at West Coast Green with my friend, Sean.. we were darn nervous before going up man, hahaz... I guess my guitar was turned on too loud too.

Oh, yea, I sang the first verse too, cuz Sean didn't want to start the song. From 2nd verse onwards, I was the 2nd vocalist.. i'm the one with the guitar on the left, by the way, hahaa ^^

Hope u guys enjoy it! :D

2009-06-17T22:42:00.000-07:00

Hey, guys... i'm going to be performing in a gig at West Coast Green RC on the 27th of June, around afternoon... it's some acoustic concert, i'll just be playing 3 songs, so i'll definitely make some time for anyone who wants me to show how i play some of my songs, yea? :P So do come to support me, okie? I'm NERVOUS!! hahaaaa

Do let me know if you're coming by commenting in this post or in the shoutbox, okie?

Thank you! ^^

Feeling shaken...

2009-03-19T03:36:00.000-07:00

Words. They are whispered in the background, they spread faster than wildfire, they distort and mislead. In the hands of a skilled orator, they can build worlds, move mountains, destroy lives.

Skilled orator... or close friends.

Proverbs 16:28
A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.

Matthew 5:18-19
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

yet...

James 3:7-8
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Lord, give me the wisdom, strength and humility to understand, forgive, and change for the better, for man's inclination towards evil cannot be solved by man.

Also open my eyes, Lord, to the true meaning of friendship. The limitations of what a friend can do for you, and yet the world of fulfillment they bring.

Change My Heart, O God

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

2009-02-26T05:56:00.001-08:00

This week's been really... tiring for me. Exam period, as I am typing now, my econ prelim's tomorrow...

Thus, when i'm stressed... i play the guitar.

This is me with my latest guitar, an SX Custom Handmade Semi-Acoustic with cutaway. Plays like a dream, low, LOW action... hahaz, intending to sell it.

Anyway, this song, I dedicate to SIM Students' Christian Fellowship (CF), for all the support, all the love and friendships, all the fun we have together ^^ God bless for the UOL peeps taking their prelims, the RMIT peeps and their never-ending projects, and UB peeps for whatever you have ^^ take care guys!

Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy,
Humble but you’re greedy
Based on your body language,
your shouted cursive I’ve been reading
You’re style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
‘Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
‘Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
It’s like, we are picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are

Here we are x7

We're still here

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words in priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it’s nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

「Sky chord ~大人になる君へ~」- 辻詩音

素直な歌が歌えない
飾り付けてしまうから
いつからこんなに楽に自分
守ることを覚えたの？

行かない sky chord
昔ならあったのに yeah yeah
失くした sky chord
誰のせいでもなく自分

きっと大人になることなんかより
大切なものがあるの
きっとそれを見つけらんないまま
大人になってゆくんだ
ずっとこのままじゃいれないって
分かってるよ
歩き出せ

Translation:

I can't sing a song with a honest lyrics
because I always end up sugar coating the words
When someone as laid-back as me
realize he had something worth protecting?

Don't leave me, Sky Chord,
You would've stayed here back then, yeah yeah...
I've lost you, Sky Chord,
It's not anyone's fault, but...

I know there are things more important to me
than becoming an adult.
But I'll be growing up the whole time
I'm trying to figure out what they are.

You say we can't stay like this forever?
I know.. so let's take that first step.

Jason Mraz - Lucky

2009-01-02T07:00:00.000-08:00

It's been a really, REALLY long week.... life just seems so boring after a good party..

I was so bored I came up with this..

C
Do you hear me,
Am
I'm talking to you
Dm G E7
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Am Dm G
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying
C Am
Boy I hear you in my dreams
Dm G
I feel your whisper across the sea
E7 Am
I keep you with me in my heart
Dm G
You make it easier when life gets hard

Am Dm G
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
C G Am
Lucky to have been where I have been
Dm G
Lucky to be coming home again
C Am Em G
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh

Dm Am
They don't know how long it takes
G Dm
Waiting for a love like this
Dm Am
Every time we say goodbye
G Dm
I wish we had one more kiss
Dm Am G
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

Am Dm G
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
C G Am
Lucky to have been where I have been
Dm G
Lucky to be coming home again
Am Dm G
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
C G Am
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Dm G
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, feel the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

2008-12-13T05:38:00.000-08:00

This is what happens when you try to transcribe a song with only basic knowledge of jazz, alot of hope and a little too much zeal - broken nails.

Oh well... it'll grow back.

This is the song I was transcribing... don't think you can find it anywhere online now, cuz i didn't copy any tabs from online. Put alot of effort into this wor... hahahaz ^^

Fallen for You - Lauren Hill

Lyrics

I can't believe it, you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how I have fallen for you.
And I was not looking, was content to remain.
And it's ironic to be back in the game.

You are the one who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that I was lost without you...

And I want to tell you, you control my rain..
And you should know that you are life in my veins.

You are the one who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that I was lost without you...

I can't believe it, you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how I have fallen for you.

And I was not looking, was content to remain.
And it's erotic to be back in the game.

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

2008-12-01T23:53:00.000-08:00

Was just introduced to this great song by someone I met online, it's a really, really great song, yea? hahaz, think I just did the song a great disfavour by recording this excuse of a cover, but here goes...

Oh yea, I played this on C major for convenience, the actual song is in B major.

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

C
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
G
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
Am
I fell right through the cracks,
F
now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours
You best believe, best believe I'm yours

Heart of Worship

2008-11-15T07:48:00.000-08:00

Father in Heaven,

Thank you for allowing me to worship you with the gift you have so freely given me. Help me, Lord, to not be proud or arrogant, but rather be thankful to You all the days of my life. Let this be my personal worship to You, the Great and Almighty, Lord of all Creation... God with us, Emmanuel.

Verse 1
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

Bridge
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

Chorus
I'm coming back to the heart of worhip
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus

Verse 2
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much you deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is yours
Every single breath

*Bridge*
*Chorus*
*Chorus*

笑ってくれる支えてくれる　励ましてくれる大事な人へ

2008-11-12T19:15:00.000-08:00

"I promise you, I’ll never forget it, my precious ones, who laugh with me, support me,and keep me going. "

Thank you, Lord, for providing all the friends around me. Forgive me, Lord, for failing to see and trust them through the cloud of fear and mistrust I have set up around myself.

Help me, Lord, if it is your will, to NEVER do this to any of my friends again.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, CF peeps. Thank you, everyone.

笑ってくれる支えてくれる　励ましてくれる大事な人へ

何気ない日々　この毎日
今こうしてここに生き　やらなきゃならないことも
なかなか出来ないことも　そりゃたくさんあるけど
いつでも頑張ってこう　それも周りの笑顔に励まされたお陰だよ

なんだかんだ言ったってやっぱ　ホント感謝それがアンサー
かけがえない友達・家族　ともに心地よく過ごす
今があって皆があって　Bad Dayだって笑ってられる
たまらずに涙を　流すほどにありがとう

笑ってくれる支えてくれる励ましてくれる大事な人へ
今送るこの気持ちを　忘れずにいつも

他人の前では意地悪ばっかり　でも二人ならいつでも優しい
口ゲンカは負けてばっかり　毎回最後はあっさり笑ったり
たまにはオシャレして出掛けたり　けどワガママで迷惑かけたり
どんな時も見守ってくれるあなたに包まれてる

だからあなたにもありがとう　今さら照れくさいけど
一人で迷い込んだトンネルも　一緒なら光のこぼれる方へ
忙しくても疲れていても　「おやすみ」と電話をしてくれる
その小さな優しさがいつも嬉しいから

笑ってくれる支えてくれる励ましてくれる大事な人へ
今送るこの気持ちを　忘れずにいつも

たまにすれ違ったり意地を張りあったり素直になれへんけど
結局やっぱめっちゃ大事やから　これからもよろしくねと心から

当たり前でも当たり前じゃない　生きている今に感謝してたい
いつまでも『幸せ』だと　あなたに伝えたい

笑ってくれる支えてくれる励ましてくれる大事な人へ
今送るこの気持ちを　忘れずにいつも

今日明日も明後日も　そうみんなで笑ってよう
どんなときも変わらない　絆を信じよう
今日明日も明後日も　そう一緒に歩いてこう
もう何が起こってもなんとかなりそう

ありがとう

English Translation

I promise you, I’ll never forget it, my precious ones, who laugh with me, support me,
and keep me going.

I spend all my days here the same way,
chilling out, relaxed and unconcerned.
There are so many things to do,
a lot of them impossible for me.
It’s totally overwhelming,
but I’m always ready to do what I can
because everyone has a smile on their face.
I may not say it very often,
but I really am grateful for my family and friends.
The time we spend together is so special,
I could never replace any of them.
We’ve got this moment, we’ve got each other,
stopping, standing and laughing together.
I’m so thankful, I could cry.

This feeling is so wonderful,
it makes today seem like a wild dream.
I promise you, I’ll never forget it, my precious ones,
who laugh with me, support me,
and keep me going.

I just want everyone to be friendly in front of others
The loss of sadness makes everyone smile
Once in awhile, I use my own style which is left in the junk
Like when you watched me when I wrapped

I'm too embarrassed to say anymore, but thank you
When I'm alone in a tunnel, the light spills to you
You call me, when you're busy and tired to say “Good night”
There is always kindness and happiness

This feeling is so wonderful,
it makes today seem like a wild dream.
I promise you, I’ll never forget it, my precious ones,
who laugh with me, support me,
and keep me going.

Sometimes,things are tense but things always end up good
Eventually, it comes from important and heartfelt wishes

But I am always thankful to be alive now
I'll tell you, I'm always happy.

This feeling is so wonderful,
it makes today seem like a wild dream.
I promise you, I’ll never forget it, my precious ones,
who laugh with me, support me,
and keep me going.

Today, and even tomorrow and the day after, we'll keep laughing together
We're all tied to the same fate
Today, and even tomorrow and the day after, we'll walk together
Whatever happens now, is meant to be.

Thank you, Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you, thank you

Rie Fu - Life's like a Boat

2008-11-11T23:58:00.000-08:00

Beautiful song by Rie Fu... the lyrics are below, together with the chords for the song.

Sometimes, I feel I can really relate to this song - nobody knows who I really am, no one gives a damn... but God is constantly watching, walking, guiding, and lately, carrying me through my depression... Thank you Lord..

The waves would guide you thru another day

作詞 & 作曲: Rie fu

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who’s gonna comfort me, and keep me strong

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on comin’ and we can’t escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you thru another day

遠くで息をしてる　透明になったみたい
暗闇に思えたけど　目隠しされてただけ

祈りをささげて　新しい日を待つ
鮮やかに　光る海　その果てまで

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don’t give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

人の心はうつりゆく　抜け出したくなる
つきはまた新しい周期で　舟を連れてく

And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore

Ah, I can see the shore ...
When will I see the shore ...

I want you to know who I really am
I never though I’d feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you, and keep you strong

旅はまだ続いてく　穏やかな日も
つきはまた新しい周期で　舟を照らし出す

祈りをささげて　新しい日を待つ
鮮やかに　光る海　その果てまで

And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore

運命の船を漕ぎ
波は次から次へと私たちを襲うけど
それも素敵な旅ね　どれも素敵な旅ね
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation:

Lyric added by: SukuraHime

Nobody knows who I really am,
I never felt this empty before.
And if i ever need someone to come along.
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate.
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape.
But if we ever get lost on our way,
The waves would guide you through another day.

Far away, I'm breathing,
As if i were transparent.
It would seem I was in the dark,
But I was only blindfolded.

I give a prayer as I wait for the new day,
Shining vividly up to the edge of the sea.

Nobody knows who I really am,
maybe they just don't give a damn.
But if i ever need someone to come along,
I know you would follow me and keep me strong.

People's hearts change and sneak away from them.
The moon in its new cycle leads the boats again

And every time I see your face,
The oceans heave up to my heart.
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
and soon I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore...
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am.
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you.
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you and keep you strong.

And still the journey continues on quiet days as well.
The moon in its new cycle shines on the boats again.

I give a prayer as I wait for the new day.
Shining vividly up to the edge of the sea.

And every time I see your face,
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
and soon I can see the shore

We are rowing the boat of fate,
But the waves keep attacking us.
But isn't that still a wonderful journey,
Aren't any of them a wonderful journey?
